Volume 2 The Stone Man of the Western Regions The Stone Man of the Western Regions Chapter 30: The Code of Life

The fat man's volume suddenly increased decibels, making everyone nervous.

Xiao Qian was so frightened by the fierce look on the fat man's face that she took a few steps back, and at the same time looked at me with a look for help.

"Senior brother, what are you doing here! Xiaoqian took care of me..."

Seeing this, Yiyi immediately took Xiao Qian's hand and pulled Xiao Qian to her side.

I also gave the fat man an inquiring look.

"Senior sister! Xiao Su! You don't know, I followed my master to the grave when I was ten years old, and I saw countless corpses, and I smelled countless corpses! Ruthless to be sensitive to that taste! This girl has a heavy corpse on her body! ”

As he spoke, the fat man snatched a submachine gun from the people in Sister Ning's team next to him, pointed the muzzle at Xiao Qian, and shouted:

"Who the hell are you!"

"I... I..."

Seeing the fat man's muzzle aimed at him, and many people's eyes were focused on herself, Xiaoqian became a little cowardly and stammered to explain something.

Seeing the fat man's movements and hearing him introduce what death is, I immediately understood the source of the misunderstanding.

The smell of the corpse emanating from Xiao Qian's body must have been due to the terrible experience she had when she was eight years old, and the fat man didn't know that Xiao Qian's tragic experience caused the situation in front of her.

"Brother, put down the gun, Xiaoqian is fine!"

The scorpion in front of the fat man said as he reached out and pressed down on the muzzle of the fat man's gun, making his muzzle change from facing Xiao Qian to aiming at the ground.

"Fatty, Xiaoqian is really fine, I'll explain the reason to you later..."

I walked a few steps forward, came to the fat man, patted him on the shoulder, and said to him.

"Xiaoqian, come here..."

Sister Ning called Xiao Qian, who was hostile to the fat man, to her side, and at the same time raised her eyes and glared at the fat man not far from her, and then turned her head to focus all her attention on the survivors of the expedition.

During the period when the fat man targeted Xiao Qian, except for the scorpion in Sister Ning's team, who had been paying attention to the fat man's movements, the rest of the people just glanced at Xiao Qian coldly, and still performed their duties.

As if the situation in front of them had nothing to do with them, it seemed that as long as Sister Ning did not issue a new order, they would not take action.

Especially Zhang Xiuxiu, after discovering that the man woke up, she has been paying attention to his condition.

I have to say, don't look at Zhang Xiuxiu as a man, and he is still a man with a beard, but he really has a set of taking care of people.

Even compared with Xiaoqian's methods, I think that on weekdays, in addition to Xiaoqian, who is responsible for taking care of the wounded in Sister Ning's team, Zhang Xiuxiu should be the second choice of nurses in the team.

Under Zhang Xiuxiu's continuous use of cotton swabs to moisturize the man's lips and soothe his muscles and bones, he obviously showed signs of recovery.

His eyes gradually became focused from the initial state of godlessness. His body began to move a little, just like when Yiyi and I woke up, and now after he recovered a little more consciously, he began to purse his lips a little greedily.

And Zhang Xiuxiu also slowly increased the amount of water stained in the cotton swab.

Finally, the man came to his senses completely, and looked at the people around him, with confusion in his eyes.

After Sister Ning glared at the fat man, the fat man's emotions slowly calmed down. And began to flatter, walked to Sister Ning's side, and sat on a raised stone.

When Sister Ning just reached out to get the water, the fat man turned into a little brother who wrung the water, and obediently unscrewed the water and handed it to Sister Ning.

"I'm hungry . Give me.. Eat..."

As the man's consciousness slowly returned, he began to whimper, his voice still weak, but he could clearly tell that he was asking for food.

In fact, before he could make this request, Sister Ning had already poured the water handed over by the fat man into a small cup and soaked some compressed biscuits.

I am very familiar with this kind of homemade food made by Sister Ning, and when I first woke up, my food was this kind of blister biscuits.

After a person falls into a coma due to hunger and thirst, the first bite of food in the mouth after waking up is very nostalgic.

I vividly remember that the moment I was fed the blister compressed biscuit into my mouth by Sister Ning, all the cells in my body began to be reborn, and my spirit was recovering at a speed I could feel. That was the first time I had this experience, so I am still grateful for the deliciousness of Sister Ning's bottle cap.

Sister Ning handed the prepared food to Zhang Xiuxiu, who was still taking a sip of water for the man, and before Zhang Xiuxiu could feed it to his mouth, the man snatched the cup in Zhang Xiuxiu's hand as if he was returning to the light, and then poured the food in the cup into his mouth with a tilt of his neck. Moreover, even though the food in the cup is almost clean, it is still greedily licking the walls of the cup.

"How long have you been here?"

While he was still licking the wall of the cup, Sister Ning asked her.

Regarding Sister Ning's question, he seemed to be deaf, and after licking the wall of the cup cleaner than when it left the factory, he said to Zhang Xiuxiu beside him:

"Food. I want food..."

In his eyes, I saw extreme greed and desire. I've only seen this kind of look in some TV dramas, and the usual plot is: on a table, or in a vault, someone will only show such a look after they already know that they will get these money, and then they will actually see the money.

In the real world, this is the first time I have seen this kind of look. At this moment, in his eyes, only the food in the backpack beside Sister Ning was in his eyes, and as for anything else, it couldn't enter his sight.

After hearing the man's request, Zhang Xiuxiu didn't make any moves, but looked at Sister Ning, waiting for Sister Ning's next instructions.

"Give it to him."

After Sister Ning finished speaking to Zhang Xiuxiu, she handed him the backpack containing food.

The same situation played out again, after Zhang Xiuxiu took out a few bags of compressed biscuits from his backpack, the man snatched the biscuits again.

Then, in a state where he had never eaten food in his life, he barely chewed a few bites, and devoured these bags of compressed biscuits into his stomach.

For Sister Ning's move, I didn't understand it at first.

Because when I first woke up, I was in the same state as him, hungry and not enough to give me food.

But at that time, I asked Sister Ning for food, but she restrained herself and only gave me a little. I was able to eat freely until much later.

In Sister Ning's words, after a few days of hunger, people wake up again, and it is not advisable to supplement too much food immediately, which will make the body unbearable.

As for the scene in front of me, I began to suspect that Sister Ning was deliberately treating me.

"He didn't live long..."

The scorpion, standing side by side with me, saw what I was thinking and said to me in a very low voice.

After hearing the scorpion's words, I began to realize it.

In the past, it was always said that when people were about to die, there would be a return to the light. And, a lot of times, the word is mentioned, and although it's usually not really a retrospective when it's mentioned, people like to use it all the time.

Now, seeing the state of this person, I know what the real return to the light looks like.

Probably the current situation, only Yiyi and I have not seen clearly, because, from Yiyi's incomprehensible eyes, I see the same confusion as me.

Obviously, when she first woke up, she was just like me, and was only fed very little food by Xiaoqian.

I think Xiaoqian's explanation should also be the same as Sister Ning's explanation.

Therefore, she had the same idea as me about the different treatment of the people in front of her.

And everyone else except me and Yiyi, including the fat man, saw the man's state.

This keen sense of observation, and the sense of smell of death, is probably related to the experience.

For the days when they licked blood at the tip of their knives like Sister Ning, there should be a lot of time to see this kind of return to the light now.

And the fat man, who has been a "golden captain" for so many years, has naturally seen all kinds of big scenes.

Not to mention the trivial matter of whether he can judge the state of this person, even the dead breath on Xiaoqian's body, he can accurately smell it.

After having these thoughts, it is easy to understand the behavior of Sister Ning and Zhang Xiuxiu.

In the face of a person who is about to die, the short time of return before his death should satisfy all his needs.

Sure enough, after the man gobbled up the food and stuffed it into his stomach, his spirit began to slowly languid again.

And it's still getting out of spirit.

"Can you say that now? How long have you been here? What is the purpose? ”

Sister Ning saw that his spirit was starting to become depressed, and hurriedly asked.

Seeing that he did not answer, he continued to add:

"You don't have to worry, we were sent by Europa to rescue you, and you have to answer my questions truthfully, otherwise it will be difficult to continue the rescue work. ”

I really admire Sister Ning's deceitful rhetoric.

Sure enough, after Sister Ning mentioned the "Europa" company, a fine light flashed in that person's eyes, and then quickly dissipated.

He turned his head to look at Sister Ning, and then at Zhang Xiuxiu, who was sitting beside him.

Finally, she spit out what Sister Ning wanted to know.

This man is a geologist and adventurer who has been employed by Europa, and I can sense from his account that he has an inexplicable admiration for the mysterious multinational company. The reason for this is simple, he was brainwashed while he was working in that company!

Their expedition team has a total of thirteen people, and the personnel structure is relatively complete, and all the equipment is also the most advanced expedition equipment at present.

We've seen all of these devices.

There are experts from various fields in their team, and their purpose is to find the code of life!
